0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All they've managed to do is make themselves sad.

In a field as competitive as frontier AI, this feedback loop if allowed to persist
could result in harm well beyond the immediate consequences of the government's actions.
Training and serving frontier-level models like Claude requires extraordinary computational resources. Anthropic has already spent over $10 billion on model training and inference (serving the model to end users) and expects to spend many billions more in the coming years. Although the company has generated substantial revenue since entering the commercial market exceeding $5 billion to date—it has nonetheless had to raise more than $60 billion in outside capital to fund its operations. Anthropic has raised this capital by issuing investors equity stakes in the company.

Based on their lawsuit filed against the DoD, Anthropic appears to be admitting that reports about its revenue and costs are fake, saying its revenue to date “exceeds $5bn” and training/inference “over $10bn.” Previous reports said $4.5bn.

There's something real satisfying about an evil bully finally starting to realize they bit off more than they can chew and are gonna experience some real consequences. Unfortunately though, I live inside said bully

I'd like to think that if I made, marketed, or purchased an AI tool that killed anyone, let alone hundreds of children, I'd do the decent thing: delete it, destroy the conditions that made it possible, then kill myself.

The reason why conservatives are against birth control and abortion is because they’re afraid they’ll run out of children to bomb

I wouldn't necessarily call it a "transcendent experience" but the same applies for sweet corn outside of the upper Midwest. Had it exactly once when I lived in Texas and it was like eating water

I'm not saying balkanization is imminent or ideal but I have said and will continue saying that if you reduce to federal government only to be an instrument of cruelty and violence somebody some day is gonna posit the question of why we're even doing this at all.

You can say "he inherited it" or "it wasn't his fault" and sure yeah a lot of the most miserable austerity came at the state level during the Tea Party wave, but it was *not* a good time and Obama did very little to fix it except engineer more fiscal cliffs or whatever the fuck

I will leave aside drawing the direct line from Anwar Awlaki to Renee and Alex and say: if you were outside of one a handful of major cities or tech hubs, the economics of the Obama years were fucking AWFUL. The 2008 recession went on for a decade in the rust belt. Remember the "jobless recovery?"

Elected Democrats are either Nazi collaborators or in a severe state of denial. I wish they'd be clearer about which.

Tired
I am so tired of waiting,
Aren't you,
For the world to become good And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two - And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

If you'll allow me my Cassandra moment I remember getting tut-tutted during the Wisconsin capitol occupation for calling then-gov Walker a fascist in 2011.

My [electrical FWIW] experience says that very very few construction workers are actually far right chuds. I think people get the cultural signifiers mixed up with people's actual policy views

Go to Chipotle or Panera and it's 50% more expensive and much worse quality than it was 6 years ago. Go to McDonald's and it's like 30% more expensive but roughly the same quality vs 6 years ago. Worrisome yeah but I think the complete enshittification of fast casual is a big part of this
